Thanks. I figure if Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox can do double entendre, so can I.

I know. That's what I meant. When one party declines, another party takes its place, but we won't have 3 parties. For the reasons you said.

In reply to I think if the Republicans

A third party is virtually impossible because our electoral institutions cater to a two party system. Unless how we vote and how our votes are counted change there will never be a viable third party. And since the two parties in the two party system are always in control they never have motivation to change things (why would they willingly change things to take away their power?). Sadly, our children's children's children will be having the same tired debates we are having about the Democrats and Republicans.

I'm ecstatic the Dems will soon have their highly symbolic 60 seats. If Harry Reid weren't so damn collegial, it might actually make a difference in getting Obama's agenda enacted and his appointees confirmed.

But I'll wait a bit before becoming a full-fledged Arlen Specter fan. I haven't liked him since, as an up-and-coming lawyer for the Warren Commission, he came up with the "magic bullet theory" in order to explain how just three shots (the first of which missed completely) could cause all the wounds to JFK and Texas governor Connolly. Yeah, you heard me right: Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone.
